7. As I mentioned in another thread a few days ago...

... Charles Panati tells us in his incomparable "Panati's Extraordinary Origins of Everdyay Things":


Although history does not unambiguously record the origin of the chocolate chip cookie, we can be certain that there was no such confection prior to 1847, for before that time, chocolate existed only as a liquid or a powder, not as a solid.


Legend has it that the first chocolate chip cookies were baked around 1930 at the Toll House Inn, on the outskirts of Whitman, Massachusetts.

14. Raging debate in PENNSYLVANIA over this very issue!

Of all the half-baked bills to come through the Pennsylvania Legislature, these two are undoubtedly the flakiest.

Seems that, once again, the separate chambers of the Legislature are at odds when it comes to designating an official state cookie.

The Senate is pitching anew for the chocolate-chip cookie, whereas the House is supporting the Nazareth sugar cookie, in a bill sponsored by eight representatives, including Moon Township's state Rep. and Senator-elect John Pippy.
